INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following information may contain certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “predict,” “probable,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

 

We have been materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, and we are actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity.

 

Overview

 

We own and operate the RED Mountain Resort, a ski area in Rossland, British Columbia. We also own, and are developing, certain real estate surrounding RED Mountain.

 

We earn our revenues in five principal categories. In order of their contribution, they are: lift tickets and season passes, food and beverage sales, retail sales and equipment rental, property management and real estate sales. Our property management revenues are derived from property management services rendered to the owners of condominiums at the base of RED Mountain.

 

Our single largest source of revenue is the sale of lift tickets (including season passes) which represented approximately 60% and 51% of total revenues for the twelve-month periods ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Lift ticket revenue is driven by the volume of lift tickets and season passes sold and their pricing. Most of our season pass products are sold before the start of the ski season.

The cost structure of our operations has a significant fixed component with variable expenses including, but not limited to, retail and food and beverage cost of sales, labor, power and utilities. As such, profit margins can fluctuate based on the level of revenues.

 

The timing and duration of favorable weather conditions impact our revenues in regard to the timing and number of skier visits. Though the amount of snowfall early in the ski season does encourage skier visits, our ski resort has snowmaking capabilities in the event that the natural snowfall is insufficient. Cold weather, however, is essential to a successful ski season. There is no way to predict favorable weather conditions in the future. We sell season passes prior to the start of the ski season to help mitigate any negative effects that unfavorable weather may have on our revenues.  

 

In addition to our ski resort operations, we are now focusing on the other three seasons of the year and extending the RED Mountain brand to four-season activities. This effort began in December 2015, with the creation of the Get Lost Adventure Centre. Get Lost has a permanent location at the base of RED Mountain as well as a centralized on-line booking engine offering year-round concierge services for such recreational activities as mountain biking, mountaineering, fishing and trail rides in conjunction with established operators in the Kootenay region. We believe that the Four Star, 106 room Josie Hotel which opened in 2018, at the base of RED Mountain, which is owned and operated by a third party, has positioned itself as a true four-season resort and will take advantage of the activities offered at Get Lost. These activities, along with events, conferences and weddings, are expected to generate additional revenue and profits.

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership was formed on May 14, 2004 under the laws of British Columbia. The Partnership and its subsidiaries are a vertically integrated organization that owns and operates Red Mountain Resort and its various departments including, food and beverage, retail, ski and snowboard equipment rental, ski school, guest services, lift operations, marketing, maintenance and accounting. We also own and operate property management and real estate operations, which include land development and real estate sales.

 

Red Mountain Resort

 

Located at the tip of the Monashee Mountain range in central British Columbia, Red Mountain Resort is one of the last pristine and underdeveloped big-mountain ski resorts in North America. The mountain is a skier’s paradise and beloved by a loyal following of outdoor enthusiasts. Red Mountain Resort has 3,000 vertical feet of skiing on five mountains, and a unique topography allowing 360 degree descents from Red, Granite and Grey peaks.

The chart below sets out our corporate structure:

 

 

Management

 

Our General Partner, Red Mountain Ventures G.P. Ltd., was incorporated on September 19, 2003, under the laws of British Columbia to act as general partner to Red Mountain Ventures Limited Partnership. Information about the officers and directors of our General Partner can be found under “Directors, Executive Officers and Significant Employees”.

 

Employees

 

During ski season (mid-December through early April) we have approximately 160 full-time and 150 part-time employees. During the off season (mid-April through mid-December), we have approximately 25 full-time employees.

 

Environmental Laws and Regulation

 

We are subject to a variety of Canadian federal, provincial and local environmental laws and regulations including those relating to emissions to the air, discharges to water, storage, treatment and disposal of wastes, land use, remediation of contaminated sites, climate change and protection of natural resources. Certain kinds of future expansions of our facilities would require us to carry out environmental assessments and apply for government approvals which may require prior consultations with First Nations (Canadian aboriginal organization) to be carried out. Such proposals may not be approved or may be approved with modifications that substantially increase the cost or decrease the desirability of implementing the project. Our facilities are also subject to risks associated with mold and other indoor building contaminants. From time to time, our operations are subject to inspections by environmental regulators or other regulatory agencies. We are also subject to worker health and safety requirements as well as to land use criteria and potential remediation obligations applicable to the presence of regulated substances. Management believes that our operations are in compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements in all material respects. However, efforts to comply do not eliminate the risk that we may be held liable, incur fines or be subject to claims for damages, and that the amount of any liability, fines, damages or remediation costs may be material for, among other things, the presence or release of regulated materials at, on or emanating from properties we now own or formerly owned or operated, newly discovered environmental impacts or contamination at or from any of our properties, or changes in environmental laws and regulations or their enforcement.

Competition

 

We operate in a competitive industry. We compete with mountain resort areas in the United States, Canada and Europe for destination visitors and with several ski areas in the region. New mountain resorts that may be developed in the region around Red Mountain Resort may lead to increased regional competition. We also compete with other worldwide recreation resorts, including warm-weather resorts, for vacation guests outside the traditional ski season.

 

Our major North American competitors include the major Colorado and Utah ski areas, the Lake Tahoe mountain resorts in California and Nevada, the Quebec and New England mountain resorts and certain ski areas in the Canadian Rockies and the British Columbia. Our competitive position is dependent upon many diverse factors such as our proximity to population centers, availability and cost of transportation to the resorts, including direct flight availability by major airlines, pricing, snowmaking capabilities, type and quality of skiing offered, duration of the ski season, prevailing weather conditions, quality of golf facilities, the number, quality and price of related services and lodging facilities, and the reputation of the resort. In addition, there is a move towards consolidation of ski resorts in the US and Canadian ski industries, which may provide competitors with cost efficiencies that enable them to reduce prices and attract visitors away from independent ski resorts such as Red Mountain Resort.

  

Intellectual Property

 

We have Canadian trademarks on certain of our designs and logos. Our trademarks and trade names are an important component of our business and our continued success depends in part upon our continued ability to use these trademarks to increase brand awareness and further develop the Red Mountain Resort brand in both domestic and international markets.

 

Litigation

 

We are not involved in any litigation, and our management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to our intellectual property, conduct of our business activities.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.  Our fiscal year end is April 30th. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which may differ from US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Overview

 

We own and operate the Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, British Columbia. We also own, and are developing, certain real estate surrounding Red Mountain Resort.

 

We earn our revenues in five principal categories. In order of their contribution, they are: lift tickets and season passes, food and beverage sales, retail sales and equipment rentals, property management and real estate sales. Our property management revenues are derived from property management services rendered to the owners of condominiums at the base of Red Mountain Resort.

 

Our single largest source of revenue is the sale of lift tickets (including season passes) which represented approximately 60% and 51% of total revenues for the twelve-month periods ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Lift ticket revenue is driven by the volume of lift tickets and season passes sold and their pricing. Most season pass products are sold before the start of the ski season.

The cost structure of our operations has a significant fixed component with variable expenses including, but not limited to, retail and food and beverage cost of sales, labor and utilities. As such, profit margins can fluctuate based on the level of revenues.

 

The timing and duration of favorable weather conditions impact our revenues in regard to the timing and number of skier visits, but may be more impacted by willingness to travel subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic, adverse economic conditions, global outbreaks of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, the global geopolitical climate or weather conditions in the immediately preceding ski season. Red Mountain Resort has limited snowmaking capabilities and in the event that the natural snowfall is insufficient may be able to open a limited number of ski runs. Cold weather, however, is essential to a successful ski season. There is no way to predict weather conditions. Season passes are sold prior to the start of the ski season, in part, to mitigate negative effects that unfavorable weather may have on our revenues.  

 

In addition to ski resort operations, Red Mountain Resort is beginning to develop activities for the other three seasons of the year and will be extending the Red Mountain Resort brand to four-season activities. A four-star, 106 room hostel located at the base of Red Mountain Resort (owned and operated by a third party) opened in 2018, and positioned itself as a four-season resort. In addition, RMR co-developed an 84-pillow hostel which opened in December 2018.

 

Recent Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

 

Together with the risk factors included in our Form 1-A, we have identified the following important factors (as well as risks and uncertainties associated with such factors) that could impact our future financial performance or condition:


Given the escalating concerns surrounding the spread of COVID-19 and the potential impact that continuing to operate our resorts would have on our resort communities, we suspended the operations of our resort on March 16, 2020. As a result of the closure and the uncertainty regarding when our resort will be able to reopen safely, we expect that our results in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2020 will be negatively impacted, although we are not able to fully assess that impact at this time.


The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to global travel restrictions and other adverse global economic impacts including reduced consumer confidence, an increase in unemployment rates and an overall decline in the global and local economies. Given the escalating concerns surrounding the spread of COVID-19 and the potential impact that continuing to operate our resort would have on our resort community, we suspended our resort operations beginning on March 16, 2020. Although we are uncertain as to the ultimate severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it may have on our business, we have seen a significant negative change in performance and expect our future performance will also be negatively impacted. In addition, the North American economy may be impacted by economic challenges in North America or declining or slowing growth in economies outside of North America, accompanied by devaluation of currencies, rising inflation, trade tariffs and lower commodity prices. We cannot predict the ultimate impact that the global economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall travel and leisure spending or more specifically, on our guest visitation, guest spending or other related trends will have on the upcoming 2020/2021 ski season.

 

We have been materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report, and we are actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

Our overall revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $7,473,152, compared to $8,568,754 for 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The decrease in overall revenue was primarily attributable to decreases in food and beverage sales, retail and rental sales and real estate sales revenue.

 

Lift ticket and season pass revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $4,507,076, compared to $4,372,597 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Retail and rental revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $701,572, compared to $806,451, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The decrease is attributable primarily to governmental restrictions on travel and social distancing resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Property management revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $511,843, compared to $483,265, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Food and beverage revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $934,984, compared to $1,213,802, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The decrease is attributable primarily to governmental restrictions on travel and social distancing resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Real estate sales revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $223,796, compared to $1,172,723, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Other revenue for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $593,881, compared to $519,916, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. Other revenue is comprised primarily of ski school, day care services and facilities rentals.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020 was $1,665,410, compared to $1,555,455 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The increase in our cost of goods sold is primarily the result of the allocation of development costs to cost of sales related to Phase 2 of the Caldera development which was completed this year.

 

Gross Profits

 

As a result of the foregoing, gross profit was $5,807,742, for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2020, compared to $7,013,299 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profits is primarily the result of the decrease in revenue and increase in our cost of goods sold.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our overall operating expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $7,328,823, compared to $7,172,145, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in labor expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, repair and maintenance expenses, and general and administrative expenses.

 

Labor and labor related expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $3,540,479, compared to $3,424,432 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

Repairs and maintenance related expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $653,882, compared to $774,707, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Depreciation expense for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $758,563, compared to $695,338, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Selling and marketing expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $177,376, compared to $189,359, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Equipment rental and lease expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $261,660, compared to $281,829, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Property taxes for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $81,610, compared to $91,362 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

General and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were $1,855,253, compared to $1,715,118 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of increased payroll costs.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $1,521,823, compared to a loss of $158,846 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The increase in losses from operations is primarily the result of the decrease in operating revenue, and the increase in cost of goods sold and operating expenses during fiscal year ending April 30, 2020.

 

Other Expenses (Income)

 

Interest expense for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $310,989, compared to $387,645, for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $1,832,070, compared to net loss of $546,491 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019. The differential is primarily due to the decrease in operating revenue, and the increase in cost of goods sold and operating expenses during fiscal year ending April 30, 2020.

 

Total comprehensive net loss after foreign currency translation adjustment for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, was $2,159,112, compared to $1,337,662 for the 12 month period ending April 30, 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Current assets as of April 30, 2020, were $980,915 compared to $2,514,381 as of April 30, 2019. Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets and inventory. The decrease in current assets is primarily a result of a decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $582,350 as of April 30, 2019, to $0 as of April 30, 2020, and a decrease in restricted cash from $886,335 as of April 30, 2019, to $85,109, as of April 30, 2020.

 

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, is primarily the result of a shortened ski season. As of April 30, 2020, we have a cash overdraft balance of $75,842, which was reclassified to accounts payable as it represents a liability. The overdraft balance resulted from the timing of cash flows at year end. We do not believe it will have a negative effect on our business or our ability to meet our current obligations.

 

The decrease in restricted cash primarily resulted from the release of a secured letter of credit in connection with the completion of our Caldera development project in August 2019.

 

9

 

 

Principal Sources of Cash

 

Available cash is the highest in the fourth quarter primarily due to the seasonality of our resort business and the sale of season passes for the following ski season. There was $0, in cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2020, compared to $582,350 at April 30, 2019.

 

We currently anticipate that cash flow from operations will continue to provide a significant source of our operating needs.   Subject to the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental restrictions, including, but not limited to, travel restrictions, we expect that our liquidity needs for the near term and the next fiscal year will be met by continued use of operating cash flows (primarily those generated in our third and fourth fiscal quarters). 

 

Significant Uses of Cash

 

Our cash uses currently include operating expenditures and capital expenditures for assets to be used in operations. We have historically invested significant cash in capital expenditures for our resort operations and expect to continue to invest in the future. Resort capital expenditures for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2020, were approximately $3,249,609, compared to $1,482,386, for the period ending April 30, 2019. The capital expenditures for the period ending April 30, 2020, were primarily associated with building and construction.

 

Debt and Credit Facilities

 

The Bank of Montreal (the “BMO”) has provided an overdraft credit facility to Red Resort Limited Partnership (“RRLP”) in the principal amount of CDN$2,000,000, bearing interest at prime plus 1.5%, and secured by a vacant lot directly below the Morning Star development. When RRLP’s operating bank account balance reaches zero, the BMO Line of Credit Agreement allows RRLP to draw checks or make withdrawals of up to CDN$2,000,000. Interest is calculated and charged by BMO in any month when RRLP makes use of this line of credit (or overdraft). The interest charged to the operating account is dependent upon the amount the account has gone into overdraft and the length of time the account is in an overdraft position. Repayments of principal are made at the discretion of RRLP. The credit facility is to be used for general working capital. As of April 30, 2020 a balance of CDN$1,479,829 in principal was outstanding under this credit facility, with no interest accrued.

 

RRLP is a party to two fixed rate term loan agreements with BMO that are guaranteed by Leroi Acquisition Corp., RMR Acquisition Corp and Red Property Management Ltd. The first loan is for CDN$4,200,000, has a 300 month term, and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 3%. It requires monthly payments of interest and principal payments of CDN$28,000 in December, January, February, March, April and May of each year. The loan was used, in part, to pay down previously existing loans. The second loan is for CDN$1,600,000, has a 60 month term, and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 3%. It requires monthly payments of interest and principal payments of CDN$26,666.67 in December, January, February, March, April and May of each year. As of April 30, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the first loan was CDN$2,771,779, and the outstanding principal balance of the second loan was CDN$1,046,844.

 

In order to fund certain development activities and operations Jeff Busby, a director of the general partner, loaned RMR, CDN$500,000, on January 8, 2020. As of April 30, 2020, an aggregate of CDN$509,288 in principal and interest were due and outstanding to Mr. Busby under this loan.

 

As of April 30, 2020, we had $26,526 outstanding under a loan to RMR from Community Futures Development Corporation of Greater Trail (“Community Futures”), bearing interest at the prime rate plus 4%, and maturing in June of 2025.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

 

Basis of preparation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared in United States Dollars, under the historical cost convention. The accounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its aforementioned subsidiaries and entities under common ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The ownership interest in subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Partnership are recorded as non-controlling interest and reported in management’s consolidated balance sheets within partnership interest. Losses attributed to the non-controlling interest and to the Partnership are reported separately in management’s consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Partnership will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

 

While management’s projected cash flows are forecasted to be sufficient to meet the Partnership’s obligations over the next 12 months, management believes it is prudent to continue its capital raising efforts in case its forecast is not achieved. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from organic revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs.

 

However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Partnership will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Partnership to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. Based upon an evaluation of the Partnership’s continued growth trajectory, past success in raising capital and meetings its obligations as well as its plans for raising capital discussed above, management believes that the Partnership is a going concern.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheets is comprised of cash at bank and on hand. Cash and cash equivalents include cash at hand and short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and are therefore considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted cash

 

Restricted cash is comprised of term deposit funds which secure letters of credit. The deposits mature and are rolled over annually. The company has agreements in place with the Bank of Montreal that require the deposits related to certain credit facilities. As of April 30, 2020 and 2019, the restricted cash balance was $85,109 and $886,335, respectively. The decrease in restricted cash in the current year is related to the Caldera development project. The restricted cash balance in 2019 secured a letter of credit held by the City of Rossland that was released in conjunction with the completion of the project in August of 2019.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Partnership establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of April 30, 2020 and 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of land for sale, purchased retail goods, food and beverage items and rental equipment. The Partnership’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using primarily an average weighted cost method. As of April 30, 2020 none of the inventory was pledged as security for any liabilities.

 

Property- held for sale

 

Property- held for sale consists of the lots developed that will be sold during the normal course of business. These lots are accounted for in accordance with IAS 2 and treated as inventory. The balance in this account represents the lots that have been completed and transferred out of property under development but not yet sold as of the balance sheet date and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation on assets is calculated using the diminishing balance method by applying the depreciation rate to the net book value of the asset, resulting in a diminishing annual charge. The cost/net book value is allocated over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 

  No. of years
Building 25
Trail improvement 12.5
Lifts and tows and snow infrastructure 16.7
Furniture, fittings & equipment 5
Vehicles 3.3

 

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within the profit and loss account.

 

Property under development

 

Property under development consists of lots that are under development and will be sold during the normal course of business. These lots are accounted for in accordance with IAS 2 and treated as inventory. The property is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Partnership capitalizes investment in the original land, acquisition costs, direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest recorded on costs related to real estate under development and other related costs. The Partnership records capitalized interest once construction activities commence and real estate deposits have been utilized in construction. Development costs are applied against sale proceeds on a square footage basis.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Goodwill and intangible assets

 

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of Red Mountain Resort Inc. in 2004 and subsequent amalgamation with RMRAC and consists of the excess of the purchase price of the shares over the net book value of the assets of Red Mountain Resort Inc. at the date of acquisition. The goodwill is attributed substantially to land value. The Partnership tests goodwill annually for impairment. The testing of impairment consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the assets with their net carrying value. The Partnership determined that there was no impairment to goodwill for the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Long-lived assets

 

The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Partnership recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. The Partnership does not believe any events or changes in circumstances indicating an impairment of the net carrying amount of a long-lived asset occurred during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Financial Instruments- Risk Management

 

The Company is exposed to the following financial risks through its operations:

 

-Risks related to the general economic trend
-Credit Risks
-Liquidity risks
-Interest Rate risk
-Foreign Exchange risk
-Risk related to the environment
-Financial instrument risks from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables/payables, and notes payable

 

Company management has responsibility for the determination of the company’s risk management objectives and policies. The overall objective of management is set policies the seek to reduce risk as much as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s operational goals.

 

The granting of credit to end customers is subject to specific preliminary and on going assessments. Positions amongst trade receivables for which objective non-recoverability is ascertained are subject to write down.

 

The Company’s transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars. Therefore, the fair value of the financial instruments may decrease if the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate decreases, while the financial instruments would decrease accordingly. Management believes the foreign exchange risk for the Company is relatively low.

 

Finance lease contracts

 

Assets held under equipment lease agreements are capitalized in the balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful life. The corresponding purchase obligation is capitalized in the balance sheet as a finance lease liability. The interest element of the obligation is charged to the profit or loss account over the period of the contract and represents a constant proportion of the balance sheet capital repayments outstanding. All lease assets and liabilities are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16.

Capital Management

 

The Company monitors adjusted capital which comprises all components of equity. The Company’s objectives when maintaining capital are to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate level of return to partners and investors.

 

Investments

 

The Partnership owns a 50% interest in That Seventies Project, a real estate development project, and has capitalized approximately $3.2 million and $ 4.8 million, in development assets as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Partnership’s investment is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet and is adjusted each year according to the Partnership’s share of gains and losses related to CBT.

 

Foreign currencies

 

The functional currency of the Partnership is Canadian Dollar (CAD). The reporting currency of the financial statements is United States Dollars (USD). The company has decided to present the financial statements in US Dollar for purposes of clarity as a majority of the company’s investors are from US and international markets. The financial statements of the Company were translated pursuant to the provisions of IAS 21. Income and expenses and cash flows for each statement of profit and loss shall be translated at an appropriately weighted rate for the year. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rates. All differences are taken to the other comprehensive income or loss.

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in CAD into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows: 

 

Balance Sheets:

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in accordance with IFRS 15. The company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product to a customer or performs the service obligation as prescribed by the contract.

 

Revenues are highly seasonal. The ski season generally runs from mid-December to early April. Red Property Management Ltd. Operates year round but sees limited business between May and November. Leroi Acquisition Corp. operates only during the ski season. Between May and November Red Resort Limited Partnership performs maintenance, completes capital projects and develops sales and marketing plans for the coming ski season.

 

Following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be met before revenue is recognized:

 

·Lift revenue is derived from the sale of lift tickets and season passes, and is recognized as services are performed. The Partnership records deferred revenue related to sale of season ski passes. The majority of season passes are sold from March 15 to April 30 each year for the following ski season and the related revenue is recognized in the first month of the new fiscal year. Season pass revenues received from May 1 to March 15 are recognized when received.

 

·Retail and rental revenue is derived from retail sales and equipment rentals business and is recognized as products are delivered or services are performed.

 

·Property management revenue is derived from providing reservations and property management services for the privately owned condominium rental units and is recognized as services are performed.

 

·Food and beverage revenue is derived from sale of food and beverage from three Partnership-owned restaurants and is recognized as products are delivered or services are performed.

 

·Real estate revenue primarily includes the sale of condominium units and land parcels and is recorded primarily using the full accrual method and occurs only upon the following: (i) substantial completion of the entire development project, (ii) receipt of certificates of occupancy or temporary certificates of occupancy from local governmental agencies, if applicable, (iii) closing of the sales transaction including receipt of all, or substantially all, sales proceeds (including any deposits previously received) and (iv) transfer of ownership.

 

·Other revenue primary includes ski school operations, KinderCare, locker rental, other on-mountain activities.

 

Selling and marketing expense

 

The Partnership expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Selling and marketing costs were $177,376 and $189,359 for the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Comprehensive income

 

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from consolidated net earnings.

 

New standards and interpretations adopted in 2020

 

IFRS 16 Leases-IFRS 16 specifies how a Partnership will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. IFRS 16 will be applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The application does not have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

 

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted

 

The IASB and IFRIC have issued the following standards and with an effective date after the date of the financial statements and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts- IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts with the scope of standard. An insurance contract is a contract in which one party accepts significant risk by agreeing to compensate the policy holder if a specified uncertain future event takes place. The standard is applicable to insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, which the entity issues or holds. Contracts that meet the definition but primarily exist to provide services for a fixed fee are subject to IFRS 17 unless the entity has applied IFRS 15 to the service contracts. IFRS 17 will be applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. On initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfillment of cash flow or the contractual service margin. An entity shall include all future cash flows within each contract. At subsequent measurement the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. Management does not expect the application to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

 

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Partnership.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the April 30, 2019 financial statements to conform to the April 30, 2020 presentation. (See Note 18)

 

NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The Partnership makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the change affects both.

NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (cont.)

 

Information about critical assumptions in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

 

Taxation

 

The Limited Partnership accounts for income taxes in accordance with International Accounting Standard 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”).

 

·Partnership

 

Partnership income, losses, assets, and liabilities are all attributable to the partners. As per the Canada Income Tax Act, partnerships do not file separate tax returns. The partnerships file annual “information returns” setting out their income and details of the partners who are entitled to that income. It is the partners who are required to pay income tax. The limited partnership is simply a flow-through entity. The net income of the partners (for income tax purposes) of a limited partnership is based on the net income of the limited partnership.

 

The net income of the limited partnership, the Act states that it is treated as if it were a separate legal person: s. 96(1)(a). Include income and deduct allowable expenses and other credits. The limited partnership’s income will be attributed to the partners (as per the limited partnership agreement). Each partner must report their income or losses from the partnership and pay taxes accordingly: s. 96(1)(f).

 

·Corporations

 

The Partnership owns a number of entities that are classified as a Corporation for tax purposes:

 

For such Corporations: Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit and loss, except for income taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

 

Current income tax, if any, is the expected amount payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, calculated in accordance with applicable taxation laws and regulations, using income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustments to amounts payable or receivable relating to prior years.

 

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method based on temporary differences arising between the income tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using income tax rates and income tax laws and regulations that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. To the extent that the Partnership does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxing authority and the Partnership intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (cont.)

 

The Partnership did not record any Corporation related Current or Deferred income tax, since by tax law it does not flow through to the Partnership level.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Partnership measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Partnership is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 – Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The recorded amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

NOTE 4 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

   April 30, 2020   April 30, 2019 
Cash in bank and on hand  $-   $582,350 

 

As of April 30, 2020 the Partnership had a cash overdraft balance of $75,842. This credit balance has been reclassified to accounts payable as it represents a liability for the partnership. The overdraft balance in the cash account is a result of the timing of cash flows at year end and management does not believe it will have any negative affect on business or the partnership’s ability to meet its current obligations. See Note 10 for further detail.

 

Note 5 – Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable, net of allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, consisted of the following:

 

   April 30, 2020   April 30, 2019 
Trade accounts receivables  $10,249   $10,321 
Other receivables   366,223    393,640 
Less allowances   (-)   (-)
Total accounts receivable, net  $376,472   $403,961 

 

During the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Partnership charged $0 and $0, respectively to bad debt expense in setting up an allowance. The company does not expect to recognize any credit losses.

NOTE 9 – PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT

 

Property under development includes costs directly related to construction and carrying charges during construction such as interest and property taxes. Development costs are applied against sale proceeds on a square footage basis. The Partnership was created in 2004 to own companies that acquired the resort’s assets. The transactions resulted in goodwill of approximately $4.3 million. Substantially all of the goodwill was attributed to the value of the real estate associated with the acquisition. As such, goodwill has been allocated to land development costs since inception and has been amortized on a pro rata basis as cost of sales related to sales of real estate. The balance of property under development was approximately $10.9 and $11.4 million as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively. The balance of goodwill attributed to land and development costs were approximately $2.7 million and $3 million as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 19- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significantly volatility and disruption of financial markets. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. An extended period of economic disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition.

 

Management has evaluated all activities of the Partnership through the issuance date of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and concluded that there are no additional subsequent events that have occurred that would require adjustments or disclosures into the consolidated financial statements.
